What The Luck!? Chapter 6

"Furthermore there is the D rank above it which usually holds those with basic physical enhancements. They are often just a bit more powerful than the average human. Following that we have the C rank, this is where things get interesting. The C rank holds those who develop more than just small enhancements, they will often have powers that influence the environment to greatly enhanced strength or mind. They are not considered overly dangerous but often find themselves in jobs such as constructions of sciences." Mr. Smith was writing out the chart with all the letter ranks on the board, Asher had focused on this finding that any memories he had for these ranks were too fuzzy.
"The B ranks are much more powerful and usually make up the basic police force or firefighters. They will use their powers to deal with natural disasters of serious accidents. Many with healing or medical capabilities also fall in to this category just based on the value of their powers. Above this is the A rank. This is the minimum requirement for one to join the specialized law enforcement group of the hero corp. Their abilities are often very powerful or unique and if used wrong have destroyed entire city blocks." Asher gulped after hearing this. His world before may have had its own danger, he had been hit with a bus afterall! But here there were people that could straight up destroy a city block if they let their inner demons out to play.
"Higher still we have the top of the top, the S ranked powers. These people are the very leaders of the hero corp. They can take down entire criminal organizations and have been known to sometimes stop natural disasters like hurricanes or earth quakes by themselves. The will have very rare powers such as weather control, elemental manipulation, or even things like technopath. Some of you fall in the the A and S ranks already one reason you were put in to class one." Mr. Smith's eyes wandered over each student as he knew which were the ones with this potential.

"Finally there is the SS rank, this is held by a very small group of people, their powers are extremely complicated and it is thought that they could manipulate entire countries if they so desired. They have risen to the very top of the hero corp and currently keep the most dangerous criminals in check. They may only number three at the moment but even one of them is enough to make an entire nation relax safely."
Asher raised his hands, "They can really influence an entire nation? What kind of powers do they have?"
"I am glad you asked, one of them is actually very similar to me. I may only be a B rank super power holder but I have an ability that lets me see three seconds in to the future. This is the reason I am in this particular class, I can keep trouble to a minimum with a simple look. The SS ranked hero I am talking about has the ability to glance years in to the future and find small points to alter to change the future in a number of ways. He is known to only act if a major calamity is about to happen. One such instance was when a tsunami threatened an island nation that he said would one day birth the world's best heart surgeon. He managed to evacuate that country and ten years later found the child who had been labeled a genius. This child had already reached a level that none had ever reached at such a young age as a doctor."
Being able to see in the future!? That was a really amazing power even if it was just three seconds, Asher had the realization that his new teacher was actually really amazing. "I understand, having a power like that must be really amazing." Asher was still innocent of some of the draw backs of such powers and Mr.Smith was not sure if he should burst the new students' bubble.

"Unfortunately while it has amazing positive possibilities there are also some great drawbacks. What if they make the wrong choice? What if they change something and can't see the new future immediately? What if the choice they make comes at a great price? Some people with powers of prediction have gone mad just trying to understand what their own choices could cause. The free will of others is very mentally taxing to predict. Lucky for me I only worry about three seconds. Bless you." Mr. Smith added on the bless you at the end making Asher wonder if he was religious.
"Aaaachooo!" One of the girls at the front of the room sneezed with all her might causing the wind in the room to stir. Papers flew everywhere. Not a single person's hair was left untouched, most were spiked up at odd angles, the girls seemed to have tangles that could never be undone.
Mr.Smith had seen the sneeze coming just three second early. He had a smirk on his face, he was not always so reserved but showing off now and then was fun. Asher felt his own hair after the wind had dissipated. His hair was purchased back in a strange way but he felt it was much nicer than the style he had always had. "Ha! This is awesome, thanks for my new style." The other students looked at him with worry in their eyes but could not disagree that his hair did look good.
"Thank you Mr. Smith." The girl who had just sneezed was wiping her nose, "My allergies are really bad today for some reason.
"She looked about the room finding that everyone was glaring at her but one person. Asher had two big thumbs up due to how happy he was on his new looks. She immediately labeled him the new fool of the class.

What Was Lost Outside Time
What happens to a mind, subjected to an infinite span of time? What remains, when it is taken out again? This is the story of an individual reborn after such time has passed that nothing remains of what it was; an individual who must learn once again what it is to be, beginning with awareness of the idea of awareness, and growing from there; from awareness of self, to awareness of others, to awareness of society, and on. This is the story of a mind; growing, learning, adapting, and becoming more. -- Currently the first three chapters are - well, kind of experimental. I both like and hate these; they were a pain to write, and I'm told by at least one person that they're painful to get through, but I think something like them is necessary to set one of the basic ideas about the way the story is written. It gets slightly more normal after that, the first arc of the story is rather "battle school", and I think I may need to go back and edit it - the characterization didn't end up working out as well as I had originally hoped, unfortunately, and ended up rather weak to my eye. I may go back and add a sub-plot or two, depending on how well I can handle the intended perspective shift of the second arc. -- Currently on hiatus, in case that wasn't obvious. I'm debating between rewriting large portions of what I've already written, and just finishing out the story, but either way, I don't actually have a clear idea of what I want to do right now. If I'm still feeling the same way in a few months I'll put a chapter up explaining where the story was going, maybe, so the people who have enjoyed it can know where the story was intended to go, and close this out.
